From the shop
Duffins Creek Door & Opener Co.
This is a family-run business, and it shows in small ways. The person who answers the phone knows the technicians by name and can tell you who is coming. The van carries the common springs, rollers, hinges and opener parts, so most repairs finish on the first visit. We keep notes on every door we have serviced, which means the second call is easier than the first. Our customers are neighbours, and we would like them to stay customers for the life of the house. That is a long relationship to build, and it is built the same way every time: show up, explain clearly, do the work well, and clean up.

How a visit goes
Expect two visits. On the first, the technician makes the door safe to use or safe to leave closed, identifies the manufacturer and model, measures the section, photographs the damage and its neighbours, and checks the hinges, rollers, tracks, cables and springs for anything the impact disturbed.
1 of 3
Describe the door
Single or double, steel or wood, torsion or extension springs, and which opener. If you do not know, that is fine; we sort it out on site.
2 of 3
Assess before advising
The technician checks spring life, cable condition, roller wear and opener force before saying a word about what should be done.
3 of 3
Careful hands, clean finish
Heavy hardware is handled with stands and winding bars. When the door is running right, the tools are packed and the floor swept.

2021 census · what it means at the door
58%Older homes
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Older garages tend to have lower headroom and narrower single openings, so replacement doors and openers are chosen to fit the space rather than the other way round. Measuring the header, side room and ceiling depth is the first step on every one of these visits.
23%
Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).
In attached housing, a resident's remote or fob may open both their own door and a shared gate, and lost devices are a real security concern. We clear old codes from the operator, program replacements, and explain to management how to keep the access list current.
